    It's called old age. I just swapped my 454 for a flathead.

    Nice looking bird. Bought one for my wife a few years ago. No portholes so assume a '55.
    Enjoy.

    now you just need to do the rational thing and swap that motor out for a real motor like a 283, 327 or 409

    It happens. All our modern drivers are GM. All our hotrods are Fords. I guess they call that a house divided.

    I did the same thing this year! Chevys all my life, and I bought my '63 Falcon in March. But then I tore it apart and put a 464 Chevy in it! :)

    Well,,,it's not a Full On Ford. It's just a T-Bird. You'll probably have to find a new group of Friends now.

    Great choice of Ford. '55 is a great Bird.

    Get some heavy duty front and rear sway bars on that car pronto!

    They're beautiful, but they drive and handle like a truck.

    Good start for a T-bird gasser.... straight axle and a big FE with injectors would be perfect... :eek::D

    Now that's Funny,,,,and so true. Everything I have with G.M. motors in them marks there territory every time I stop. None of my Ford powered Hot Rods have that issue.
